Create, edit, or delete a workplace archiving policy for a selected content type. Each content type has a policy determining when that content gets automatically archived. If no policy is configured, that type of content will not be automatically archived.
Content, including content that existed before the policy was created, that meets the conditions of an archiving policy is placed in an archiving queue for the length of time specified by the digital workplace's grace period. Once the grace period is over, the content will be archived. Processing of archiving policies occurs overnight, so the effect of policies will not be seen until the next day.
No notifications are sent when policies archive content.
